FLW OUTDOOR BASS FISHING
FISH'O'MANIA
Dates:
July 2010.
TV Hours:
6 Hours Live or 1 x 2 Hour Highlights.
Format:
Fish'O'Mania is a superb example of how Matchroom Sport can turn a traditionally non-television sport into an established TV spectacular. The event is now well into its incredible second decade and was once again broadcast for six hours in the UK in August 2007.
Known as the ‘FA Cup of fishing’, the competition involves 16 anglers who have qualified through heats across England, fishing off for the £25,000 first prize. The event gains much of its excitement by abandoning the traditional weigh-in at the conclusion of the match, and instead features weigh-ins every 30 minutes which gives the event a changing leader board that makes the action easy to follow.
Prize Fund:
£43,000.
Nations Represented:
UK.
Venue:
Cudmore Fishery, Stoke on Trent, England.
Inaugural Year:
1994.
Previous Winners:
Mick Bull, Clive Wright, Neil Machin, Marc Jones, Rob Hitchens, Matt Hall, Nathan Watson, Steve Jackson, Geoff Ringer, Steve Cooke, Steve Ringer, Kevin Rowles, Dave Pimlott, Andy Jennings, Ian Turner (All UK)

Following qualification, there is a cut and the field is whittled down to the ten leading anglers and top prizes big as $1,000,000 are on offer for the victorious fishermen.
